The Giant Claw 1957 colorized (Jeff Morrow)

by: Clover Productions

Publication date: 1957

Topics: feature film, colorized, science fiction

Language: English

When an electronics engineer on a solo flight spots a UFO as "big as a battleship" but nothing shows up on radar, he is regarded as a dangerous crackpot until other incidents convince the Air Force that the threat is real. Could it be a giant extraterrestrial bird that flies at supersonic speed and is composed of anti-matter?

Jeff Morrow as Mitch MacAfee
Mara Corday as Sally Caldwell
Morris Ankrum as Lt. Gen. Edward Considine
Robert Shayne as Gen. Van Buskirk
Edgar Barrier as Dr. Karol Noymann

I colorized this using AI software that doesn't always get the colors right, but I think it looks fairly natural. Hopefully a more professional job will be done someday.

Thanks for the bird flick. Fun movie, which I saw as a kid in a theater.

…and that’s the best that can be said about this movie. But it’s just a kid’s movie, one of dozens I probably saw at Saturday matinees, They were as memorable as the popcorn. Watching as an adult, it was worth a few laughs.

This movie made the hit list of feminist horror movie criticism : another subliminal vagina dentata in the big bird. There’s a lot of them they say, in horror movies that is. Although …. Well forget that. I liked the crunching sound when it chomped on the parachute guy.

The 50's produced many corny sci-fi "giant" monsters but none as downright goofy as this. Like someone dreamed this up after getting food poisoning at Thanksgiving. A lot of the same old cast members from the period cannot inject an ounce of believability. An hour and a quarter of your life you will never get back. LOL
